Five Studies About: Public Opinion
Curated crime research studies, all related to public opinion
Hello! I'm Aaron Jacklin, and this is The Art of Explaining Crime, an independent newsletter that helps you think and write about crime.
Programming Note: We’re shutting down the newsletter for the holidays. We’ll be back in the new year.
Published Tuesdays and Thursdays, Five Studies About is a free tip sheet where I curate recent crime and justice studies related to one topic. Today’s topic is public opinion.
These new crime studies related to public opinion were recently published by journals I monitor:
1. What sways public opinion? An experimental study on moral vs. evidence-based arguments for drug harm reduction [Drugs: Education, Prevention and Policy]
2. Anti-fracking protests and compliance with police: An examination of public opinion in the Anthropocene [Criminology & Criminal Justice]
3. Public Opinion on the Minimum Age of Criminal Responsibility: The Role of Cognition and Emotions [International Criminal Justice Review]
4. Manufacturing concern: Inside Richard Nixon’s “law and order” campaign [Criminology & Criminal Justice]
5. Attitudes to Crime and Punishment in England and Wales, 1964–2023: A Reinterpretation of the 1980s and a Model of Interactions Between Concern, Punitiveness and Prioritization [The British Journal of Criminology]
I might cover some of these studies further in The Practice of Understanding Crime, my other Substack. If any sound interesting or important, let me know in the comments.
Five Studies About and Crime Research Update are the output of my research discovery system.
